Staphylococcal dermatitis of sheep.
A condition frequently termed "facial" or "periorbital eczema" has been observed in sheep. Studies carried out indicated no viral involvement but a haemolytic Staphylococcus aureus was isolated which produced severe necrotic skin lesions on inoculation into sheep. A more appropriate term for the condition would appear to be staphylococcal dermatitis.
